Hey Steemians!

Week 47 of #zencolouringcontest starts now!

Each week I will provide a stencil to be coloured in with no restrictions on the medium used, with a chance to win 45% of this posts payout and the weeks' donations for 1st place.

To add a little twist and interaction within the community, there will be a featured colour each week, picked at random from entrant's choices. This colour must be used in some way in your interpretation (use as little or as much of the featured colour as you like).

This week the stencil is inspired by concentric & entangled circles and the pattern they create when they are all twisted together. It's a slightly less complex stencil this week to have a break from intricate shapes and patterns. Hope you all enjoy colouing this latest stencil from the #zencolouringcontest!

Have fun, but most importantly have a relaxing zen-colouring sesh!

I love this! Please tell us how you did it!

Thanks. I tilted the pattern a bit then filled everything with chocolate brown color. A adjusted the brush to make it a little transparent then tightly brush the top with pink color. Using glow brush I gave it a little smudge on top to give it some light

Thanks. I'm going to have to look up how to do this on GIMP... New skills I need to learn. :-)
